Tyra Banks showed off her big smile and an even bigger ring on Sunday at the 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. The talk and reality host won best informative talk show for the second year in a row, and fueled speculation she's engaged to marry her longtime boyfriend in the process.
The 'Tyra Banks Show' beauty has been dating 50-year-old business mogul John Utendahl for two years.
Elsewhere in the Emmy broadcast, big winners included the ladies of 'The View,' who ended Ellen DeGeneres' four-year run as talk show host winner. Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters weren't on hand to accept.
Rachael Ray took home the prize for best entertainment talk show.
'Good Morning America' earned morning program honors for the third time in as many years since the category was introduced.
The lifetime achievement award went to PBS' 'Sesame Street' for 40 years of educating and entertaining children. Sandra Oh helped salute the show, joined by Big Bird, Elmo, Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster, who sang its famous theme song and earned a standing ovation.
In the land of Soap Operas, 'The Bold and the Beautiful' reigned supreme by winning best drama series, its first such victory in 22 years on the air.

Drama series lead acting honors went to Christian LeBlanc of 'The Young and the Restless,' and Susan Haskell of ABC's 'One Life to Live.'
'Guiding Light' earned one of its last trophies before it leaves the air after 72 years. Jeff Branson, who plays Shayne Lewis on the CBS soap, tied for supporting actor.
Winners List:
TALK SHOW (INFORMATIVE) -- 'The Tyra Banks Show'
TALK SHOW (ENTERTAINMENT) -- "Rachael Ray"
TALK SHOW HOST -- Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, Barbara Walters at 'The View'
GAME SHOW -- 'Cash Cab'
GAME SHOW HOST -- Meredith Vieira, 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'
MORNING PROGRAM -- 'Good Morning America'
DRAMA SERIES -- 'The Bold and the Beautiful'
ACTOR -- Christian LeBlanc, 'Young and the Restless'
ACTRESS -- Susan Haskell, 'One Life to Live'
SUPPORTING ACTOR (Tie) -- Jeff Branson, 'Guiding Light' // Vincent Irizarry, 'All My Children'
SUPPORTING ACTRESS -- Tamara Braun, 'Days of Our Lives'
YOUNGER ACTOR -- Darin Brooks, 'Days of Our Lives'
The show rushed so much that The Bold and the Beautiful couldn't even give a thanks, they rushed thru the Guiding light Tribute, but certainly took their time for Sesame St. They need better organizations. It's an award show, but cut down on the Nominations for entertainment. They need more time or better organization. And why can't the NY people come to CA, win or lose? At least one from the Veiw !
Tyra? The View? Rachel Ray? They need to change the name to "TV's Most Annoying, Idiotic Shows". Rachel's voice is totally annoying, Tyra is a train wreck and The View is like watching a chicken coop. Cluck, cluck, cluck...
I can't believe that the View won? With all that yelling and talking over each other, it should learn better manners. And why not more winners from All My Children?
what, Miss Tyra dating a 50 year old? It's a joke, right? No wonder she acts as she does.....has her own reality a bit messed up. has she? So, lets say, she hasn't got enough money on her own, she needs a sugar daddy? ughhhhhhhhhhh
What business is it of yours who she's dating? Then again someone like you don't have a life so they stick their nose in others not to mention being jealous.
It is a real shame that they didn't show B&B accepting the award for best soap. It is their first time winning it and I wanted to see the group on stage and hear the acceptance speech. Viewers got neither. They could at least have shown the stage while showing the credits. This really sucks. They should have cut out Vanessa's second number and dancing with Gilles so we could have B&B. Also, clips of the nominated actors were shown for some in the beginning, but then not for them later on. I would like to see clips of the nominees. I was really disappointed I didn't see B&B accept their award.
The VIEW gets an AWARD! EGADS! Except for shutins and gossip mongers who the hell watches it? These is liberals at their worst! Oh ya thats right.... the award shows are run by liberals..big surprise!
Rachel Ray has a voice like sandpaper on a cheese grater. She has a nice smile and is perky. So does Katie Couric. But these things do not an Emmy make. Or is TV so desperate for talent it cant find anyone better? I can understand this. The more TV cranks out stupid shows, the more I appreciate my DVD player. The decent shows are ruined by those idiotic graphics they overlay during the program. I dont give a bleep about upcoming shows or other promos; thats what commercials are for. Leave my show alone while Im watching it.
I agree with you Steve! Tv has gotten ridiculous with all the reality, and drama stuff, I rarely watch it anymore. Even sports has taken a back seat in my life due to all the overpaid thugs that control sports these days.
I`m glad that im not the only one that is upset with that crap that appears on my tv screen while i`m watching a program. It drives me crazy lol. I feel my tv is being taken over and i have no control with my own tv. TC.
Okay genius, so you're the expert know it all, suppose you just tell us all just what the criteria for an emmy is. I think all the winners have been selected months aqo hollywood style. They reward the players who fit what hollywood deems to be the current self-promoting image. Talent has nothing to do with it what so ever! The sad thing is it will never change as long as mindless zombies continue to let hollywood spoon feed them their garbage. And love every mouthfull.
I THINK THE SHOW STARED OFF NICE BUT THEN IT GOT BAD. I THINK IF A WINNER LET THEM SPEAK. BUT ONLY LET THE WINNER GO GET THE REWARD AND NOT HAVE ALOT OF PROPLE ON STAGE AT ONCE. I THINK MORE TIME WAS LOST AT THAT TIME. AND YES IT WAS SAD FOR B/B NOT TO SPEAK ON WINNING. I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE IT BETTER.
These comments are very revealing!! Why is America occupied by so many angery and depressed people? They never seem to be satisfied, very judgmental and always have something negative to say.If you don't like what's on TV read interesting books,jog,volunteer,travel do something or just mind your business to keep your minds healthy.Better yet give yourself an AWARD.
If you actually threw away a piece of your life watching this show, you really need think about changing the way you live before television rots your brain beyond repair.
TO HUGH, Rachel Ray has had or is going to have surgery on her vocal cord to remove a cyst. That is why her voice sounds the way it does. I like her show and evidently others do too or she wouldn't still have a show.
YOU THE PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE SO NAIEVE.. THE TIME SLOT IS OWNED BY A LEFTY LIBERAL CALLED MISS OPRAH.. SHE WANTED RACHEL IN THAT TIME SLOT AND CANCELLED A PRETTY GOOD TONY DANZA SHOW.. BUT THE LIBERALS DO NOT WANT THE PEOPLE WHO SPEAK UP..THEY JUST WANT THE PUPPETS IN LIFE THAT DON'T DO AS I DO BUT DO WHAT I SAY.. THINK ABOUT THIS!!! DID THEY ASK YOU OR ME OR ANYONE ELSE TO VOTE FOR THESE PEOPLE???? I REST MY CASE....GOOD DAY MARY..
i am surprised types of people like ray have time to post on the internet ...i thought they were to busy plotting the next holacust museum shooting or looking for obamas birth certifcate
